Comment on Bambu Lab announces the Vortek H2C, an automatic nozzle-changing version of the H2D
philpo@feddit.org 2 weeks agoI am currently unable to time it exactly,but for the AMS 1 I think it was around 30sec. for a full load/unload between cutting and reinserting (which is amongst the most error prone part of filament handling imho). But yeah, purging time is of course even more time consuming - but there is simply zero chance a toolchanger won’t still be faster. (And more flexible)
The major benefit of Bambus approach?
There is literally zero chance of people using third party nozzles in their approach. But yeah, I am also curious to see how it plays out. It might end with a new January-Disaster for Bambu Lab. Or not.
And I find it extremely funny, that the video and blog post is so clearly aimed at Snapmaker. That’s incredibly funny,imho.

That’s a really good point about the nozzles.
